The Beast from the East and Storm Emma are still making their presence felt across Scotland with a yellow weather warning extended until late Monday evening.

But temperatures will begin to rise in parts of the country, with Glasgow set for highs of 4C on Monday and 6C on Tuesday while Edinburgh will see temperatures peak at 3C and 5C over the next two days.

The rise in temperature will see the start of the big thaw as Scotland recovers from the Beast from the East storm that brought most of the country to a standstill on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Met Office chief forecaster’s assessment said: “Further spells of snow affecting Scotland will mainly fall inland whilst in coastal areas there will be a mix of rain and sleet.

“During Monday snow, and additional accumulations, should become increasingly restricted to hills and mountains over the northern half of Scotland.

“In the meantime some difficult conditions are likely at time at low-levels inland, including through the Central Belt.”

The Met Office warns that in the eastern parts of the Highlands, Grampian mountains and Southern Uplands a further 5-10cm of snow could build up.

After services were hit by widespread disruption between Wednesday and Saturday, ScotRail announced they are running an almost-complete Sunday service today, while buses and airports are also beginning to return to normal.
